Talk:Meetup/London/70

Clash with WikiConference UK 2013

I've just realised that the normal date (second Sunday of every month) for this meetup clashes with the WikiConference UK 2013 in Lincoln which I assume a large number of regulars will be at - would anyone object if the date was moved a week earlier or a week later, or shall the status quo remain?

I'd suggest a week later. I think clashing with the conference would be unfortunate for both events (though I do have a conflict of interest in that I'm chairing the committee that's leading the organisation of the conference). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:42, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm at the conference but could do the 16th. WereSpielChequers (talk) 18:22, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

I thought about going to the conference, but concluded it was too expensive and I had too much on, so I will probably be able to attend a meetup either on the 9th and the 16th. Moving it a week later has an advantage over moving it a week before as it gives attendees more time to take note of the move, so unless there are any objections shortly, I will move the meetup to the 16th. Existing sign-ups will be notified. CT Cooper · talk 21:20, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

The 16th may also help disseminate news from the conference to those, like myself, too poor to mount an expedition to distant and exotic Lincoln. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 16:43, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Since it appears to be unanimous, I have moved the date a week later to the 16th. CT Cooper · talk 10:16, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

I've realised we're going to have the same problem with London 72 (default date: 11th August), which clashes with Wikimania 2013 in Hong Kong. However, since far from all go to Wikimania, I'm inclined to leave it as it is unless there is a good demand to do otherwise. Precedent up until now seems to be towards not moving it, such as with Meetup/London/59. CT Cooper · talk 10:36, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
